Scunthorpe visit the KasStad tomorrow night for the rearranged game that should have taken place on January 24th, but didn’t. This is a game that Oxford really ought to win, as the Iron have a current form record that’s even worse than United’s. Oxford will want to restore some confidence after their appalling result at  [ more ]

United lost their third game of the season this afternoon at Brisbane Road, Gary Alexander scoring in the 64th minute to give Orient all three points.

United are due to entertain Kidderminster Harriers at the KasStad this Saturday although there is a small amount of doubt over the game following yesterday’s blizzard-type conditions.

United and Yeovil shared eight goals in their Pontins League reserve fixture at Court Place Farm this afternoon, in a game in which both teams held the lead at one stage or another.

United are now fourth in Division Three, through no fault of their own. The reason is Mansfield’s goalless draw this evening at Scunthorpe, which brings the Stags level on points with Oxford, but with a slightly superior goal difference (by just one goal).
